Sin City

Deep bench. Thoughts?

Isn't it a little early for this poll? The movie is still a good three weeks away from being released.

Still, the trailers look cool, so I'll probably be going to see it.

All I know is I have looked forward to this for awhile, two of my favorite action genre directors ever. Plus it looks to have a good cast.


The Seraph of Earth and Stone

Well I'd give the trailer a 10.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

I'd give the trailer and a the two TV spots I've seen a 10. Love the style...but yeah, too early for the movie.

Looks awesome from the trailers and some press I've read about the production. I give the new longer trailer a ten, and the shorter original one a nine. I'm glad they are doing Yellow Bastard, it was one of my favorites from the comics. I'll vote above once I see the movie in a few weeks

Always looking to hear the scoop and we've got a few people on these boards with early access to viewings. Problem is, the early scoop threads often get buried (along with much of the useful information) when a second person pops in and starts a second thread on the same movie, but with a "rate this movie" poll. Thought I'd have it all covered with just one thread this time.

Smart ...and I will give this upcoming movie...a whooping 20...can't be like everyone else here and give it just a '10'

The lovely Jaime King was on Conan O'Brien tonight to begin the plugging of Sin City. She revealed that she has a number of "fairies" tattooed on her body because she likes all things "mystical and magical" like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". They showed a photo of her and Sin City co-stars Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson, the three of whom had just returned from Comicon. She mentioned, also, that she felt a bit sorry for her two co-stars during the filming of the movie, because although she didn't get to wear much herself, as a costume, poor Rosario is dressed in little more than skimpy chains and Jessica has to wear chaps while doing a dance scene and twirling a lasso. What a crying shame...

I must be the only person unimpressed after seeing the trailer. Everything I've read in the interviews, everything I've seen in the articles... it just screams out that everyone in the movie confused the word GRAPHIC with the word STYLISH, and is really into adolescent titillation to boot. Maybe this touches upon Frank Miller issues or something, I don't know. I'm under no illusions that this is anything other than my own opinion, but everything I've seen of Miller's reeks of "Looklooklook, it's dark and brooding, and the hero has numerous antihero elements, and there's nasty violence!!! How cool is that?" And that's fine, but other issues, like character development, pacing, dialogue... that sort of trumps cool broodiness in my book.

Mind you, I was also unimpressed with the Matrix and Equilibrium, so I'm obviously a hard sell on cool broodiness in absence of all other relevant redeeming values.

I'm not casting a vote here, because I don't intend to see the movie, based on what I've seen so far. But it IS a poll, not a share-the-love thread, so I didn't feel that posting was inappropriate.

As always, opinions will vary. Anyone who is entertained by the movie should feel proud for spending their entertainment dollars wisely on something that worked for them.
